    Bunge Increases Viterra Cost-Synergy Target to $350M Amid Oilseed Processing Strength

    Question

    Bunge Increases Viterra Cost-Synergy Target to $350M Amid Oilseed Processing Strength

    Direct answer

    Bunge Global increased its cost-synergy target for the Viterra merger integration to $350 million, supported by operating momentum in its core soybean and softseed processing operations. Despite robust oilseed processing margins, the agribusiness giant faces challenges in working capital conversion, below-hurdle returns on invested capital, and persistent margin softness in traditional grain merchandising.
